Not quite double, but of the sweetest smelling rosewoods I've had the pleasure of working with. Beautiful purple when freshly cut.......and ages into a lovely deep chocolate......"Thet say" the closest rosewood to true Brazilian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played it on SNL (“Open Invitation”) that year. Looked like it weighed 14lbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woody tone from that guitar is exactly my cup of tea! He’s using great amps too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjq69 Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Thank you......Volker is amazing. And yes, I think I love all mahogany better than any other combination on a 24-5/8" - 24-3/4" scale length guitar.....Korina is pretty sweet too 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burningyen Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If this is Ken I remember you from the old, old days of the HFC. Welcome back, and very nice work! I was also inspired to start making guitars about 8 years ago, but so far just averaging about one build per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, building one a year is a fine pace. That’s really what it takes me....... I have one guitar for a friend that has taken a few years...... . Would love to see some of your builds.
